Elektrifizierung Technischer Organischer Synthesen

Since April 1st 2023, the BMBF future cluster "Electrifying Technical Organic Syntheses" (ETOS) is in the first implementation period. ETOS is the first major technology platform that drives the transfer of electroorganic syntheses from the laboratory to industrial scale and aims to generate innovative solutions for sustainable, robust, future-proof processes and products.

The lower part of the Upper Rhine and the Rhine-Main region is one of the most potent chemical regions in Germany, home to some of the world's leading chemical companies. In ETOS, academic and industry players are working together to build an infrastructure for the large-scale establishment of organic electrosynthesis in the chemical and pharmaceutical industry. The leading institutions are the Max Planck Institute for Chemical Energy Conversion (MPI CEC) with Prof. Dr. Siegfried R. Waldvogel as spokesperson and Prof. Dr.-Ing. Ulrike Krewer as co-spokesperson at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT). The Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz (JGU), TU Darmstadt, RPTU Kaiserslautern-Landau and FAU Erlangen-Nuremberg, as well as non-university research institutions, complete the expertise along the research in the field of electrosynthesis.

ETOS - Electrification of Technical Organic Syntheses

Electroorganic synthesis is an important building block in sustainable chemistry for the defossilization of the chemical industry. As part of the BMBF Future Cluster Initiative, ETOS plans to be the first major technology platform to build bridges between organic synthesis chemistry and (electro)chemical process and reaction engineering and to generate novel solutions and key technologies for sustainable, robust and future-proof processes and products along the entire value chain. The workshop will provide an overview of the state of the art and the opportunity to identify joint projects and bring together important partners for possible implementation projects.

The aim of the workshop is to share knowledge and expertise, identify industry-relevant topics and find partners for joint projects.

Speakers will include Prof. Dr. Siegfried R. Waldvogel (Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz) and Prof. Dr.-Ing. Ulrike Krewer (Karlsruhe Institute of Technology) and Prof. Dr.-Ing. Bastian J. M. Etzold (Technical University Darmstadt).

Agenda:

Presentation of the planned BMBF future cluster ETOS
Potential and advantages of organic electrosynthesis
Sustainability and defossilization of chemical processes
Design of electrolysis cells and upscaling
AI-based screening and statistical experimental design
The event will take place as a digital event. On a voluntary basis, we would create a contact list with e-mail address, company affiliation and function for networking purposes, provided you agree to share this data with the other participants.

Registration is possible until December 2, 2021 via
